I'd like to offer a big thank you to the Cloud Services team for resolving issues with VPS and toolsdb. It would take several weeks of "Thank You Tuesdays" to adequately express my gratitude for your hard work during this ordeal. Thank you Brooke, Andrew, Bryan, Arturo, Giovanni, our fine DBAs, and everyone else involved!
As I said on IRC, I think the toolsdb outage is in a way indicative of success. Maybe increased usage wasn't the true culprit, but the fallout of the outage clearly shows how much we rely on Cloud Services. Also, tools that I maintain running on VPS have had some 99% uptime since they were launched (XTools going back 1.5 years), evidenced by a monitoring service that I use. That's phenomenal. All things considered, a week or so of partial downtime related to VPS hardware and toolsdb is not that significant. Your prompt, tireless efforts to restore stability over the weekend has not gone unnoticed. Y'all are amazing. ~ MusikAnimal _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
